Aim: This unit aims to determine the corneal endothelial container density and makeup in Nigerians.Method: A population-located cross-sectional study was administered among adult Nigerians in Port Harcourt, in the south Nigeria. Using a multi-stage cluster random sampling plan, study participants were preferred. All subjects underwent eye examinations: keen sight testing, and beginning segment test including specular microscopy and funducsopy.Results: A total of 480 colleagues (n=480) were investigated. There were 212 men (44.2%) and 268 females (55.8%) accompanying a mean age of 43.0±14.2 years and range of 18-91 age. The results showed that the mean Endothelial Cell Density (ECD) was 2791±221 containers/mm2. Males tended to have a larger ECD (2882±220 cells/mm2) than women (2784±215 cells/mm2, p=0.490) in ages inferior 40 years.Conclusion: The mean ECD acquired in adult Nigerians was 2791±221 cells/mm2. There was no statistically meaningful difference in ECD middle from two points males and women. In the study population, the level of corneal endothelial container polymegathism rose with age, but this was more not statistically significant (p=0.141).
